"Civil Rights, Black Power, and Social Justice: The Courage to Act"

That was the title of tonight's panel discussion featuring civil rights leader Dr. Bernard LaFayette, Jr.,  civil rights scholar Dr. Peniel Joseph, Professor of History at Tufts University and moderated by our very own President Lynn Pasquerella. I just love these panel discussions because they are so inspiring. The conversations and dialogues they spark keep me thinking and excited for the rest of the week. This was the first time I actually stayed after the panel to go up to the speakers to thank them for their time and discuss further issues of social justice and the need for change.
